In Philippine Cinemas September 23 - “Attack on Titan 2: End of the World”

Tuesday, September 1, 2015

The first
“Attack on Titan” (Shingeki no Kyojin) live-action movie left the world hanging for a concluding movie that will
put an end to the flesh-eating giants that devoured most of mankind. After the movie’s extremely successful
box-office bow, the second instalment immediately follows entitled “Attack on
Titan 2: End of the World” is about to unfold in local cinemas this September
23.

From
Studio Toho and acclaimed Japanese director Shinji Higuchi and written by
Yusuke Watanabe, the second movie adaptation brings the movie’s heroes in a
much larger than life intense challenge on their counterattack against the
Titans in order to survive.

“Attack
on Titan 2: End of the World” picks up where the first movie left off where the
newly trained group of soldiers have learned to use the “Maneuver Gear” to
fight against the Titans and where Eren mysteriously survived after being eaten
by a Titan. Eren and the others set out on a mission to restore the Wall that
had been destroyed by a colossal Titan, but they’re suddenly faced with a quagmire
when they’re attacked by a horde of Titans. Shikishima, the Titan-slaying
captain of the Scout Regiment, arrives to save the day, but the Titans show no
sign of letting up. During the battle, Eren is badly injured, and in the
process of saving his friend Armin, he’s swallowed whole by a Titan. Just as
all hope seems to be lost, a mysterious Titan with black hair suddenly appears
and begins annihilating the other Titans.
If this mission fails, it will spell the end of humanity. Why did the
Titans appear? Why do people continue to fight? The last counterattack to save
human civilization is about to begin.

The
Manga’s success created by Hajime Isayama (Shingeki no Kyojin) has sold over 50 million volumes with
critics praising its frenetic, apocalyptic exciting plot. The second instalment further sees the naked
smiling-stoned giants continuously attacking and devouring people while the
heroes wait desperately on the perfect time to attack them.
